He eats pretty much anything. Meats, Dairy, Fruits, Vegetables, Lint, Carpet Fuzz, you name it the boy eats it.

He is odd. I admit it. Sometimes I wonder if he is really mine when he gobbles down everything green in front of him and then whines for more. Strange boy.

Anywho... Curious about his lunches?

According to his Daycare Teacher, he eats most of his lunch eat day. I think there has been on day in the past 2 1/2 months where NO was circled for "Did I eat my lunch?" Even then, there was a note that he ate everything but didn't eat any meat.

I *try* to pack him a meat/pasta, 2 vegetables and a fruit/grain/dairy. I also try to pack him something different than the day before... So no meatballs 2 days in a row or no broccoli 2 days in a row. (Although he would gobble the broccoli right down. I told you odd!)

Most days I try to make a little extra dinner and pack it for Reid's lunch the next day. (Fish sticks, rolls, Mac & Cheese all make good leftovers!).

that is so great your toddler eats so well!! mine has been in a terrible phase where she'll only eat certain foods and its torture trying to feed her! its starting to get better, but i am always looking for new food ideas to try!!

So cute!! We are eating only organic in my home and I ave 5 kids so finding foods that they all like is a trick BUT making them look cute can always help! Thanks for tomorrow's lunch inspiration! I am hosting on my site tomorrow and the link is already up....Join in if you can at http://www.frugalfitfamily.com!

My little girl's just like your son. She loves everything! Great lunch ideas. Those turkey meatballs sound like something I'd like for dinner tonight. Genius use of the silicone cups too. Makes the food look pretty and keeps it separated. Thanks for sharing with me this week!

These are great ideas-saving this! My 13 month old is the same-she loves vegetables and fruit and she will eat anything. She even ate Korean food the other night. She also slept through the night at 3 weeks with no sleep training. People hate me. :-)

You are an amazing mama! I am SO totally impressed. I would like these for my lunch. :) Thank you SO much for linking up at THE Pin It Party today! Hope you will come back next week! XO, ellie @ creative geekery blog

What a cute idea - I like dividing up the items with the cupcake liners. Thanks for linking up to THE Pin it Party - hope to see you back next week! <3 Kristin @ One Organic Mamahttp://oneorganicmama.blogspot.com/

Love the holders idea, that is a great idea. My child eats a lot better when I'm not in charge, than when I am, funny, no? Fortunately, too, he isn't super picky, easy enough to work with to get everything in each day. Of course, there are those days, but they aren't every day!

love these suggestions. My lil one is a bit picky, so I've been trying to be more creative with presentation and all. But I love how you cut it in small pieces (doesn't seem so intimidating!) I'm pinning!

Wow thanks for all the fantastic ideas! What does your morning prep consist of? Do you just put the meat in the fridge to defrost the night before and cut it up the next morning? And for the veggies just microwave them in the morning? Thanks!

I buy some of it precooked... Like the frozen turkey meatballs, or chicken breast strips... and then microwave them for 30 seconds before cutting them up. Some times its leftovers tom last nights dinners and sometimes its lunch meat. The veggies are microwaved in a water for a minute.

I love all these food ideas. I have always had a problem on how to cook the veggies to make it tasty to eat. My toddler loves tasty things. Do you put seasoning or anything to put some taste on those veggies? Especially broccoli. Thanks
